This can display one of the following: 
“OK”, “OK (Backup)”, “Not Ready” or “Booting …” 
 
OK  The 

IF-FW/DM 

MK

II is running. 

OK (Backup) The 

IF-FW/DM 

MK

II is running from its 

safety boot feature. This can occur when a firmware update to 
the IF-FW/DM 

MK

II has failed and you select the safety boot 

feature as described in the Appendix.  In this case, the update 
should be attempted again. 
Not Ready The 

IF-FW/DM 

MK

II is partly running and 

will be ready shortly. 
Booting … 

The IF-FW/DM 

MK

II is starting up after a 

software change or power cycle, it should take only a few 
seconds to finish.  If the card status remains on this setting for a 
long time, e.g. over a minute, first try turning off the power to 
the mixer and checking again, then go to the section on “Safety 
Software Backup” to select the permanent backup software 
image that is stored in the IF-FW/DM 

MK

II. 

This can display one of the following: 
 “Locked”, “Bad Channel Count”, “Illegal FS”, “No Cable”, 
“Driver Offline”, “Driver Not Locked”, “FS Mismatch”, “Not 
Ready”.  
 

From this information, it is usually possible to determine whether 
your computer is configured to use the IF-FW/DM 

MK

II correctly 

without going over to the computer’s DAW setup or 

MK

II control 

panel. 

Locked 

 

The Driver is passing audio correctly 

between the computer and the IF-FW/DM 

MK

II. 

Bad Channel Count  The Mixer specified an unsupported 
channel configuration. Try turning off the power to the 
mixer and restarting.
